Day 2 Pics: I Can Feel It!

Day 2 of 84

Status - Round 1: Phase 1: Day 2

G'day,

Oooh yeah, I can feel it alright! The muscle soreness has already kicked in from yesterday's workout. You hear guys talk about muscle memory - the concept that your muscles remember how to perform certain exercises - however the only thing my muscles can remember is pain!

Of course from a bodybuilder's perspective this is actually a good thing as it means that I have successfully stimulated my muscle fibres to defend itself from this perceived attack. This process of microscopically damaging muscle fibres - along with solid nutrition and rest - is what actually causes your muscles to grow.

Today I completed Phase 1: Day 2 of my 12 week program. This is essentially part 2 of the "Fat Loss Circuit Training" I did yesterday. I targeted 4 muscle groups - shoulders, triceps, quadriceps and hamstrings - while doing 40 seconds of intense cardio during my rest periods.

Nutrition wise, today was also a low-carb day. I have consumed only 30 grams of carbs today along with 175 grams of high quality protein. On top of this I also drank about 12 glasses of water, very important in any bodybuilding program.

Here are Day 2 pics for November 9, 2006. See you tomorrow. Peace, AJ
